Abstract:
The invention relates to ion channel forming peptaibols from fungi which represent a novel class of highly effective elicitors of the secondary metabolism of plants, the coiling of touch-sensitive tendrils and the induced resistance to harmful fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and insects.
Abstract:
Use of ion channel forming compounds (I) is claimed as resistance inducers in plant protection. An independent claim is included for the use of (I) as fungicides in plant protection. - ACTIVITY : Fungicide; antibacterial; virucide; nematocide; insecticide. In tests for systemic activity against Colletotrichum lagenarium in cucumber plants, application of an aqueous preparation comprising alamethicin (Ia) at 10 ppm reduced the degree of infection of leaves from 80% (in controls) to 7%. - MECHANISM OF ACTION : Ion channel former; inducer of intrinsic defense mechanisms of plants; plant secondary metabolism elicitor; tendrils spiralization inducer.
